Biography
Prospero Ordelaffo was born on 28 November 1307 to the House of Ordelaffo in Italy, and he was ordained as a priest. On 11 September 1345, he was consecrated as "Pope Honorius V" after his predecessor was assassinated by Count Rodolfo of Orvieto, and he continued his predecessor's crusade for Jerusalem. Pope Honorius was not as tyrannical as his predecessor, and he made a much more responsible and pious pope, not taking a role in the struggle between Guelphs and Ghibellines.
